Farcaster

interesting farcaster use case: i've short term rented my apt 2/2 times in the last month to people on farcaster

1. high social trust / validation -> either already knew & trusted them or was able to easily check with a few friends to validate that they're a responsible individual
2. easy cross border payments -> one was canadian, one indian. trying to do international transfers would have been a pain in the ass and taken forever. here they sent my warplet a test txn and then transferred rent seamlessly in USDC + i can return security deposits just as easily
3. consumer crypto people have high demand for being in nyc and higher degree of flexibility than my normie friends -> when i made same posts on my private IG, there was a lot more interest but hard to find the perfect fit as i ideally wanted someone to take the full dates

anyway thought that was interesting just sharing farcaster is gonna be craigslist then dating app lfg

I find this to be an interesting topic. Does tipping/giving make you feel happier?

Purpose > Transaction (Lewis Hyde The Gift, highly recommend)

Auto-tipping can commoditize the part where you choose to be generous. That little moment of intent. that’s where the oxytocin hits. No conscious choice then no chemical release. Need to retrain my brain it’s not just a like we are giving…

It speed up trust loops (expecting nothing in return 🙌), but do we risk losing the warm fuzzies?

What chains do you wish Farcaster was more connected to?

Please reply with numbers and examples of apps you use on those chains!

I tried this seed phrase and it didn't work, don't waste your time.

hifi

first up is this system with Vimberg speakers, Metronome DAC/streamer, Vinnie Rossi hybrid tube/solid-state amps and preamp. $120k+ USD total.

pretty meh, nothing special. had some weird colouration, tonality didn’t sound right to me. honestly if I were an outsider to the industry and walked in, I’d never guess this was worth the same $$ as a really nice car.

I love when people who have top 1% knowledge in a niche share it on FC

I did ~4h of vibecoding at agi house saturday, takeaways:

It's slowwwww, each run is about 2-10m so you only get a handful per hour and they often fail or don't work correctly. Brutal feedback loop so I would recommend doing 3 or so projects at once to stay engaged.

Progress isn't iterative. A few times I ran prompts that improved one dimension but degraded another or broke the app entirely. Since each change is so sweeping, finding yourself out of that mess can be tough or plain slow. A few times I just reverted wholesale, cursor's built in checkpointing super helpful there.

@martinamps and I tried to multiplayer vibecode a bit across two machines and despite the beautiful makeshift rsync script it failed bad. It was cool that cursor could self heal when it detected a file changed mid run from a sync'd change though. Would be cool to have an environment optimized for multiplayer vibecoding.

I think a lot would be solved by faster agent runs (groq?) and limiting scope per run.

Today in the Farcaster team meeting I learned one of the features I had been begging for as a user / builder for a long time is on the roadmap and I'm so happy I could cry

in case you were curious, i own a LOT of books
